Ever since the formai ion of the - see of ANTlocit and !toms:, and potting P. ter in the Chair, the origin and conti n uance of Popery has been a pious fraud on the ignorance of the people, to trighten them into a quiet obedience to slavery and despo tic will. The holy author of our religion did not intend that his Church should be an engine of state policy; but rather, front the purity of faith, and moral obligation, to tnake all States unneces sary; nor did the Emperor COtistantine intend, when lie took the Church under his protection, that its doctrines shonlit ever become a traffic 'of the world. It was to nourish it for the general good of his people, Hot to Oppress them, fetter their minds, and sear their conscience, under the domineering powers of a Pope, pretending to be the Holy Father of a State Church. This is con traryro the Gospel of his great Master, and it is not becaose he and his predecessors cow end, that if the State had not thought it worthy o f support it wo u ld have va poured away, that their pre sumption is to be justified.

ENGLIe OPERA-HoUsR.-0 11 Saturday last the Comic Opera of Lionel and Clarissa, .which con tains an interesting plot, mingled with circum stances of a ludicrous and entertaining nature, was revived at this Theatre, and in a very respect able manner. Miss CAttew supported the part of Clarissa with delicacy anti feeling. Her songs were given with taste and expression. PEAR :$.141 , 7, as her Lover, also acquitted himself very well as an actor and a singer. The foppish leXity of. Jes samy has given way to the prim stiffness and frigid non-chalance of the Dandies of the day ; but, as far as the character could be modernized, it was well given by WRENCH. IVILKINSONT dis played effective merit in Colonel Oldboy, but we should conceive that the part is more suited to the talents of CHATTERLEY. Miss KELLY, ill Jenny,' as she is in every thing, was natural, easy, animated and pleasing. Miss STEVENsoN gave spirit and effect to Diana, and was, indeed, the only Performer honoured with an encore. The piece Was also much indebted IQ BARTLEY in Sir John Flowerdale, I , Aacs in Jenkins, and Mrs. GROVE in Lady Mary Oldboy. The revival of this Opera is creditable to the judgment of the Manager, acrd from the success attending it on Saturday, we predict that it will be popular. through the season. GLOUCES TER piTT CLUB.

[Fr it • The Observer."] Wre have beep) favoured by the Rev Mr: RUDOR, of Liniehot)e.e, the followiligiorpoft..in. com. thunieetions ••••=.— THE REV. MR. RUDGE.'S STATEMENT. - " A noinher of contradictory statements hav ing appeared respecting thissey's ` confession,' it has been judged advisable to give, in an themie shape, the whole of wi , et really passed from his lips in the cell oh the morniog of his execution. It wrist be admitted that the situa tion in which I was piaceti will respect to 'his set etched man was' one of great difficol , y. and of peculiar delica cy . I had been requested by a number of respectable persons to -go down to Maidstone. Ile had himself strongly urged me to see !inn. I was sensible, that it any confes sion acceptable to the people et large, and satis factory to the inhabitants of Greenwich iu parti cular, could be made, much would depend upOn the manner in which the conversation was con ducted, and the questions were put, on my part, That there was •something which hardened, and troubled his mind, 1 had•every reason to con chide, from what I discovered at my first inter view with him on the day (Sunday) previous to his execution. I went, for the first time, ac companied by the chaplain and gaoler of the pri son. When the humane anti worthy clergyman had concluded the prayers, and reading a sermon, he and the,gaoler retired, leaving me alone with the prisoner. In tire course of a long and inte resting conversation, chiefly on religious topics, I saw enough to give force and strength to the Conviction, that if he were not the actual perpe trator of the horrid deed, be was possessed'of that which would be of the utmost importance to have communicated to the public., 1 NA recourse to every means of persuasion ; I 'pressed, dis closure as a matter of religious duty—as one of personal favour but they had no avail ; and I saw the time was not yet arrived in which I should succeed in carrying my point. thee ob servation which he made, in reference to' the mur der, was remarkable, and heightened extremely all my. anxieties on the subject. What good will it do for me to disclose any thing I know of the. murder now I am going to sutler for it. The secret had better die with are. You must not,, most not press me Epithet.. I am innocent of it !' In the con_ use of this day I was frequently with him, hot in compaoy with the chaplain and gaoler. On the Monday mortiii.g we settled vci•ls hint to administer the sacrament of the Lord's Sopper-at all early hour. On some person coma ing into the cell, and entering into conversation, lie told use he had slept little in the night, and that something so troubled him that he could not com Pose himself to rest. It had a reference to ' the sacrament, for which' lie thought himself not duly prepared, though he said he ;vas in charity with all men, and had made, he hoped, his peace tvith that God before whom he was shortly to he summoned. I liouglit it might now be produc tive of good, it, after having shortly t the nature, and pressed the importance of this duty enjoined by his dying Savitnir, I was to avail - myself of the opportunity of urging him to dis close the state of his mind, and make a frank con fession of any thing which either interrupted his peace or troubled his conscience. The words, as far as I can recollect, in which I addressed him, are these Arid now, Hussey, before' we corn , . municate and take this sacrament to our comfort, I request you to declare as a dying man, tor the satisfaction of the public at lar ge, and of the in habitants of Greenwi io particular, did you or did you not perpetrate this horrid murder ? or, if you did not, do you know who did ? Tell me as a matter 'of personal favour.' His answer waS, as God is my judge, - aud you are my witness, these uplifted hands were never stained with the b1..0d of Air. lilt,, or his servant.' He was now on his koees, and giving me a keen and ex pressive. look, he added, in a toile scarcely RIP. triblt•-1 know—boti—more presently " After the sacrament had been, adm;nistere,t, Which was done by the. Rev. Mr. Argles, with grest soiewnity, the chaplain awl gaoler took their leave, and sett me alone him. We were together upwards of an boor% Itntnediattly as the door of the cell was closed, i entered intit a religious conversation with hi ol—discourstd ors the state of tire soul af:er death—on a tot ore judg ment, and on such other topics as were calculated to affect his heart, and to produce wilhin hint true repentance before God, Bed faith it, the Lord Jesus Christ ! 1 thought that my endeavour s seemed to be now pre-eminently blessed. Hussey himself said that this was the happiest moment be had yet experienced. 1 seized the favourable symptom, fur I saw that the heart was disposed to. be communicative. After exhausting almost every other topic of address, I descanted upon the comfort of possessing a true friend, to whom we could unbosom our heart, and reveal our sorrows. You,' said he, are that frieed that I ought to conceal nothing from--I never Can make vou any return for all your goodness to me ' Hussey; there's one return which you can, if yo,r will, make ;. it will be a sufficient reward—tell me all you know He cast a look at the door ; and listened for a momeot ; andthett began to address nie in , the following words, to which I have strictly adhered, giving the narra; . . tive, as far as my recollection will enable me, in the very same language in which it was telfted.' The scene was a meititig One ; and he waseocca sionally so agonized as to t - se obligeo to take a little breath, and give vent to the feeliogs with is,bielt ire was agitated. 'Pieta w as a moei e nt, indeed, in which I almost despaired of his t being able to proceed, such was the difficulty expe- • iencrd . in embodying in langoisge the horrid • H USSEI"S CONFE S SION :n MR.
